@beatingthebook @TWishnev wrt tick sizes on Mega Pod, Sporttrade has been trying to optimize tick sizes for years. We’ve seen that having the .1% or .05% tick is great for sub 10% prices (9.5% vs 9.4%) but this gets worse as you approach 50% (50.2% vs 50.3%) with front running

For the win... GOT IT! 🐶

It took 19 holes, but @UGAGolf's Carter Loflin never trailed in his match and will play tomorrow.

@robpizzola Lie is everything. If grainey/furry lie where ball is sitting down, go with higher bounce wedge (10-12 degrees bounce). If tighter/firmer lie where need to get under it, go with lower bounce wedge (4-6 degrees bounce). Quickly start to see bounce/grind matters way more than loft

@beatingthebook hope @whale_capper is enjoying a cocktail after his back to back winners with Crude Velocity in Race 8 and Stark Contrast in Race 9 😎

@beatingthebook @KelleyBydlon per deadheat convo, PMs offer an alternate way to understand deadheat payouts. Instead of 1 contract settling at 100%, the settlement amount is 100/n. So in the 5 team dead heat example, settlement is 100/5 (or 20% per contract) minus your position %

@beatingthebook would love 2 mins of sports talk radio of you and @KelleyBydlon greatest player or team villains (I’m putting Patrick Reed near the top)

@KelleyBydlon what’s more exciting, this Thursday morning pre games starting or Thursday morning pre Masters?

[Jack Larkin @jack_larkin1]

@KelleyBydlon Homa holing out for eagle on the first hole of the day at 8am Thursday is just setting the stage for an epic Players Champ

@KelleyBydlon @MattBrownM2 @IsaiahWrinkle @dhiggins_4 Over on drinks consumed is all that matters!

@KelleyBydlon can we get an update on the golf round?

[Jack Larkin @jack_larkin1]

@beatingthebook wait what company is the commercial bet on?

[Jack Larkin @jack_larkin1]

@beatingthebook @KelleyBydlon I’v been very in the weeds on this, there is no concept of void in prediction markets. So in the example of a cancelled tennis match, it settles at “Last Traded Price” where the exchange determines the price. So yes, can be more or less than stake

@beatingthebook @KelleyBydlon as more prediction markets enter the market and become increasingly popular amongst bettors and traders, do you think people will begin to bet/trade via percentages (implied probability)? Or will bettors always stick with American Odds

@beatingthebook @KelleyBydlon there’s seeing ghosts, then there’s getting the yips, and then there’s whatever CJ Stroud has

@KelleyBydlon it’s only fitting we start the PGA Tour year with a Keith Mitchell birdie on the first hole

[Jack Larkin @jack_larkin1]

@KelleyBydlon @beatingthebook on the LIV player discussion, want to get your thoughts on this. DP World Top 10 from last year get PGA Tour status this year. David Puig (on LIV) finished 5th on DP World points list. Does he get to play on PGA and/or LIV, DP World tours this year?
